Lymph flow dynamics into the thoracic duct of the rat.

Abstract
Lymph flow into the thoracic duct of rats is reduced by 60% through immobilization with anesthesia. From this reduction, changes of the autonomic nervous activity by .alpha.-chloralose accounts for 20%. Pancuronium bromide blocking of the skeletal neuromuscular junction reduces lymph flow in the anesthetized rats by an additional 4%.
